Hey guys, I've been following this Forum for quiet a while and decided to finally make an account considering I didn't seem to find a problem like this.
I am the owner of a lovely 2012 (pre LCI) 116d BMW F20. Car has about 164k Km on it (about 102k miles) and for some reason, out of nowhere a strange noise showed up today.
I didn't have my car for 5 weeks, because I recieved a new ECU cuz BMW fried it.
As I finally went for a spin with the car, I started hearing this weird Static/Leaking/grinding(?) noise above 1.5k RPM all the way up to 4.5k RPM.
While in Idle/changing gears it seems to not make the noise.
It doesnt matter if i am standing or actually driving the car, the noise is still there.
Funny enough even if I rev it up all the way to 4k rpm and let it slowly drop back down to X RPM the noise is still there.
Oil changes have been done regularly. Last oil change was about 3k km ago (2k miles).
Do you guys have any idea what the problem would be?
Thank you guys in advance.
Cheers!
